<p dir="ltr">Hello everyone. I strongly suggest a quota approach. Geographical - gender - minorities representation is necessary. For instance, the UK Gov already announced they are sending a huge delegation. We need balance and visibility of the global south. Not all regions and groups are well represented in the current "created" spaces. I see the Brazilian meeting as a key opportunity of participation. We should aim to break silos and connect IG with other ongoing political struggles. Ample and meaningful participation beyond the IG frequent travelers club is urgently needed to revitalize the space.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Dear all, for the record, in the sense of using all the paths we have, Adiel has just transmitted to the co-chairs of the EMC, Demi and Raul, the sets of questions we have compiled. So Marilia and Adam can have more support to push them as urgent matters as well.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For the very tricky ones, I would suggest to bring a set of options to consult with the stakeholders.</p>
<p dir="ltr">All the best and I wish you both, Adam and Marilia, a very inspired meeting</p>

</div>APC has proposed that the selection of participants should be on the<br>
basis of contributing substantively during the preparatory process.<br>
<br>
I support that proposal.<br>
